Her remarks came ahead of Modi’s departure for Israel on a two-day visit, during which he is expected to hold talks with the country’s top leadership and address the Knesset (Israeli parliament).
In a post on X, Mrs Gandhi said: “I hope the Honorable Prime Minister @narendramodi will mention the genocide of thousands of innocent men, women and children in Gaza during his speech in the Knesset on his upcoming trip to Israel and demand justice for them.”
She asserted, “India has stood for what is right throughout our history as an independent nation, we must continue to show the world the light of truth, peace and justice.”
Prime Minister Modi’s visit begins on Wednesday, February 25 to promote bilateral defense and trade cooperation between the two countries. This will be PM Modi’s second visit to Israel in the last nine years.
The India-Israel relationship was elevated to the level of a strategic partnership during Prime Minister Modi’s first visit to the country in July 2017.
Congress on Tuesday (February 24) claimed the government had abandoned the Palestinians and said the prime minister was going to Israel even as the country’s attacks on civilians in Gaza “continue relentlessly”.
The party’s general secretary in charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh, said the Modi government was making cynical and hypocritical statements about its commitment to the cause of the Palestinians, but in reality had abandoned them.
